After a series of successful films, Vijay Antony has established a niche for himself. Vijay has given us the confidence that he will not give us a bad film. But Saithan is something very different from his earlier works. It is an interesting blend of mystery and crime. Kudos to Vijay the trust he achieved in the audience of both Tamil and Telugu audience that even in this cash crisis hard times across the India people are thronging into cinema halls right from the first show.

The story selection, honest and enormous efforts will always give you the best box office reports. This theory many times Vijay Antony adopted and proved it successfully. Even in this movie is concerned he chose a different subject which he mentioned in the titles as inspired by famous writer 'Sujatha's book. Director Pradeep Krishnamoorthy handled very nicely this smartly written script. The best part of the this thriller is the blend of super natural story to contemporary medical related heinous crime is very innovative. Above all is Vijay Antony's phenomenal performance which certainly makes this movie watchable.

Saithan talks about a man who hears voices which lead him to investigate an unsolved murder. Revealing anything more would spoil the fun. A film like Saithan is mainly watched for the surprise elements it carries. The storyline of Saithan is intriguing by itself. It is appalling, savvy and grossly unsettling. At places, you may not like what you see and even wonder if the film is losing its track but you will not wink your eyes even once and that is mainly because of the story. It must be noted that the script is inspired from one of Sujatha’s popular novels ‘Aah’.

Well it is an out and out Vijay Antory's film. His performance is class and marvellous. He brought entire film on his shoulders and makes you glue to the seat until the movie ends. This is one more feather on his acting cap as he is almost popular musician already. Arundathi Nair too delivered some good performance and she is perfect selection for her role.

The back ground score by Vijay Antony is largely impressive and sets the mood very well. Cinematography by Pradeep Kalipurayath is good and manage some good thrills. Over all it is a honest effort from Vijay for a unusual script. Even if it is not a great film but it is a sure one time watch for the content and Vijay's superb performance.
